1 CELEBRATING 50YEARS High Performance Composite Solutions Products Brochure Dynarail Guardrail, Handrail & Ladder

2 Dynarail FRP Products Combining corrosion resistance, long life and a low maintenance design, Dynarail guardrail, handrail and ladder systems are superior to conventional metallic systems. These advanced systems are designed and manufactured to be easily installed with no guesswork involved. Components are lightweight and easy to fabricate. Savings on labor and equipment often make the total installed cost of Dynarail comparable to that of steel. Combining its low cost of installation with low maintenance and long life, Dynarail offers a life cycle cost that is significantly lower than that of its counterparts. The Dynarail guardrail line includes everything needed to install OSHA- and IBC-compliant horizontal and inclined railing systems with either two or three rails. Fibergrate can also provide specialty picketed guardrail systems. The Dynarail handrail system can be added to a guardrail or wall to meet code requirements. The Dynarail ladder line includes ladders, standard walk-thrus and safety cages. Fibergrate s complete line of Dynarail products offer a variety of solutions for most applications. Dynarail components, including the railing, kickplate and ladder rungs, are manufactured using the proven Fibergrate pultrusion process. In this process, continuous fiber rovings and mat as well as a synthetic veil are mechanically drawn through a resin bath and shaped through a series of forming guides, then pulled through a heated die.

3 Dynarail Benefits Corrosion Resistant: Dynarail fiberglass guardrail, handrail and ladder products are known for their ability to provide corrosion resistance in the harshest environments and chemical exposures. Slip Resistant: Ladder rungs include heavily serrated flutes for positive, slip resistant footholds; also ungritted rungs are easy on the hands, while still ensuring safety. Low Maintenance: The corrosion resistant properties of Fibergrate s FRP products reduce or eliminate the need for sandblasting, scraping and painting. Products are also easily cleaned with a high pressure washer. Fire Retardant: Flame spread rating of 25 or less, as tested in accordance with ASTM E-84, and meets the self-extinguishing requirements of ASTM D-635. Electrically & Thermally Non Conductive: Fiberglass is electrically non conductive for safety and has low thermal conductivity which results in a more comfortable product when physical contact occurs. Long Service Life: Fiberglass products provide outstanding durability and corrosion resistance in demanding applications, therefore providing improved product life over traditional materials. Low Install Cost: Due to ease of fabrication and light weight, FRP guardrail, handrail and ladders eliminate the need for heavy lifting equipment. Components are also labeled with tags that correspond to engineering drawings to ensure time-efficient and accurate installation. NSF Standard 61-Certified: Fibergrate is now able to offer NSF Standard 61-Certified Dynarail FRP guardrail, handrail and ladder systems. These products complement the complete line of NSF Standard 61-Certified Fibergrate molded gratings, Dynaform fiberglass structural shapes, and Safe-T-Span pultruded gratings assembled from NSF Standard 61-Certified components. Molded gratings are available in all Fibergrate molded grating mesh patterns and thicknesses, except 4 x 12 Micro-Mesh panels. [ ] SAFE Heavy Metal Arsenic Barium Cadmium Chromium Lead Mercury Nickel Selenium Silver Heavy Metal Safe: The EPA, OSHA and other regulatory agencies created to protect our lives and our natural resources have increased legislation to control heavy metals such as lead, chrome, cadmium and other metals in all products where exposure is a health threat. Fibergrate Composite Structures Inc. supports this strengthened legislation and has, for more than 20 years, voluntarily tested for heavy metals in our products and minimized or eliminated heavy metals from our products. Dynarail Resin Systems ISOFR (Guardrail, Handrail & Ladders): Isophthalic polyester resin formulation with a low flame spread rating of 25 or less designed for applications where there is moderate exposure to corrosive elements. VEFR (Ladders, Guardrail & Handrail): Vinyl ester resin system with a flame spread of 25 or less for dependable resistance to both acidic and alkaline environments. UV Protection: UV inhibitors in the resin matrix, along with a synthetic surfacing veil, provide optimum protection from the effects of UV weathering. (An optional UV coating is required for installations with intense UV exposure.)

4 Dynarail FRP Guardrail and Handrail Dynarail Modular Guardrail and Handrail Dynarail modular guardrail and handrail provide the look and performance of a custom rail system in an easily assembled, cost-effective package. Available in easy-to-use kits, the modular kits include step-by-step installation instructions. Dynarail is expertly engineered to use the fewest number of railing components of any system available in order to facilitate an easier, faster installation with less chance of error. Kits include everything needed for a quality installation requiring only minimal assembly skills, less labor and common hand tools. Posts are pre-routed to accept continuous rails, eliminating the need for extra pieces to connect rails to posts. Utilizing modular kits eliminates time-consuming fabrication and field modification associated with using stock lengths. Dynarail Unique Guardrail and Handrail Solutions Fibergrate has the capability to turnkey (design, manufacture, fabricate and install) a wide range of railing projects, from the smallest platform to massive, complex structures; from basic stairways to ADA compliant systems. To meet the requirements presented by such projects, Fibergrate employs a staff of engineers and technicians highly experienced in computerized design. This design group, well versed in all phases of FRP railing mounting conditions and special connections, provides the Fibergrate customer with accurate, concise drawings that meet the specifications of the project. Fibergrate can also offer design, engineering, fabrication and installation of specialty solutions and picketed guardrail, segmented platform railings and other special systems

6 Modular Dynarail Guardrail & Handrail Systems Both horizontal and inclined posts and rails are permanently joined using rivets and an epoxy compound. Dynarail modular rails can be set at any angle to the post, from 39 to 180, using supplied cover plates. Straight splice kits are equally easy to incorporate, joined by either a riveted connection or a nut and bolt assembly. Dynarail modular posts are designed for conventional side-mounting, and kits are also available for installation of either top-mount stanchion bases or removable concrete-embedded bases.

9 Dynarail FRP Safety Ladders The innovative Dynarail fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) safety ladder and cage system meets or exceeds OSHA requirements. Dynarail cage components are shipped in compact kit form - not large, bulky units prone to damage. The safety cage is ready for field assembly with predrilled hoops for fast and easy attachment to the ladder and vertical safety bars. Ladders are stocked in standard heights of 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 and 24 and are available in taller heights using splice kits. Ladders may be ordered with or without safety cage kits. Safety features are built-in from the ground up. Special clip angles have been developed to securely anchor the ladder. Intermediate stand-off brackets laterally stabilize the ladder to the supporting structure on 6 centers. Ladder rungs include heavily serrated flutes for slip resistant footholds.
